sorry, move at will
Appalachian League,
back in the nineteen forties.
things were different.
players sometimes drank,
during games, even on field,
post prohibition.
a relief pitcher
named Milt Famey did imbibe,
but he still pitched well.
late season match-up,
finishing order all set.
Milt Famey comes in.
bases are loaded,
the game is tied, 2 to 2,
2 outs, 1 to go.
on reaching the mound,
Milt Famey finished his beer.
crushed, and tossed the can.
on four straight pitches
he walked in the winning run,
beer can at his feet.
winning team member
picked up the empty, crushed can,
headed for dugout.
he said, when asked why,
"this is the beer that made
Milt Famey walk us"
explanation: "Old Milwaukee" beer
ad slogan - the beer that made
Milwaukee famous
